Información sobre este tipo cuentístico: Description: Rival workmen have a contest to construct the most wonderful object. A goldsmith builds an artificial fish (something else), a joiner constructs an artificial flying object (folding wings, bird, mechanical horse with wings). A prince buys the flying object and flies with it in a foreign country in order to see the princess (who is enclosed in a tower by the king) [K1346, F1021.1]. He becomes her lover, and impregnates her (is taken in the very act). When the king learns what has happened, he orders the prince (and his daughter) to be executed. The lovers escape by riding together on the flying object to the prince's home country [R111.3.1, R215.1], where they marry. In some variants they land on their way so the princess can give birth. When fetching fire the flying object is burned. The lovers are separated (and later reunited).

Combinations: 425D, 461, 566, and 881A.
